This course introduces the broader discipline of computer science to people having basic familiarity with Java programming. It covers the second half of our book Computer Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach (the first half is covered in our Coursera course Computer Science: Programming with a Purpose, to be released in the fall of 2018). Our intent is to demystify computation and to build awareness about the substantial intellectual underpinnings and rich history of the field of computer science.

TOP REVIEWS FROM COMPUTER SCIENCE: ALGORITHMS, THEORY, AND MACHINES
Good introduction, sometimes it's a bit frustrating to have to memorize the op- codes for the quizzes if you don't have the book though. Otherwise very instructional.
I feel the course does a great job in laying out an introduction to "Computer Science", familiarising and motivating the topics, to be covered deeply in the sophomore-junior year.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Its a big help for learning the process as well as the behavior of the machine
Good concept of understanding how computer works. But ,In my opinion, quite hard to follow for the beginner
